December: Baby Ava

I haven't posted one single thing for the month of December, mainly because I know that we have all found one way or another to give, to love, to help those in need.

This is different.

I read this story this morning and began to weep and weep for this family.

Please read and if your heart speaks to you today to help, please do and please pray for sweet baby Ava and her mother and father.
